The objective of SP4 is to generate the basis for recommending possible storage sites for CO2 from a full-scale HYPOGEN demonstration plant. Based on an initial list of screening criteria, defining the information needed for a multi-criteria selection of possible storage sites, characteristics for a total of 80 storage sites have been collected. Data have been collected using existing GIS information from a number of other EU projects along with existing petroleum and public domain databases. The considered types of geological storage include depleted or mature oil and gas reservoirs, saline aquifers and abandoned gas storages. Within DYNAMIS it has been agreed to perform the work of SP4 on an assumed plant size of 400 Mw being operational in 2012. Two fuels, gas and coal, are to be considered and are assumed to generate approx. 2.0 and 3.33 Mt CO2 per year, respectively. With a plant lifetime of 30 years the corresponding total amounts of CO2 is 60 and 100 Mt. Given the project constraints and the technical/geological constraints concerning geological storage of CO2, a set of 10 final site selection criteria has been defined. Based on these a multi-criteria site selection has been performed, resulting in a shortlist of potential storage sites including 16 sites. All the sites on the shortlist have been described in detail comprising geological setting, wells, trap and seal, storage potential etc. and in Appendix III are listed essential parameters for each site. Finally it is concluded that the selected sites all are well suited for storage of the amounts of CO2 expected from a HYPOGEN demonstration plant.

The objective of SP4 is to generate the basis for recommending possible storage sites for CO2, including alternative industrial use of CO2 such as enhanced recovery of oil and gas. Thus the purpose of this deliverable is to identify a few underground storage sites for CO2 that each can provide the necessary storage capacity, safety of storage and residence time for the CO2 from a full-scale HYPOGEN demonstration plant. Once a number of sites have been selected in WP4.1 the SP will focus on generic storage site definition and characterization in WP4.2 in order to assess the performance and design requirements for CO2 storage. Some of the information collected in the screening process are confidential and will not be published in this report. Enclosed as Appendix II is, however, a tabulated list of the sites included in the investigation with brief information about each site1. 1 The remaining part of the collected data rests with the relevant project partners or has been published in the DYNAMIS eroom for project use only. D 4.1.1 Shortlist of potential CO2 storage sites Copyright © DYNAMIS Consortium 2006-2009 Page 4 2 INITIAL SCREENING CRITERIA An initial list of screening criteria has been established. The screening criteria define the information that forms a basis for the multi-criteria selection of possible storage sites. The screening criteria list includes characteristics within the following groups: • Geographical location • Storage capacity • Geological information • Structural information • Petrophysical information • Fluid in place • Flow conditions in reservoir • Wells in structure • Production/injection history The total list of characteristics is enclosed as Appendix I.
